Practise the Luxembourgish Sproochentest: speaking, listening, pronunciation.
Preparing for the Luxembourgish citizenship language exam is hard to do alone: you have to speak out loud, follow fast Lëtzebuergesch, and know what the examiner will actually ask. Every exercise here maps to a real part of the exam — the questions examiners ask, listening in the format of the test, pronunciation you can hear scored, and the picture task that catches people out.
Key features
Everything below is in the app today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
Every official exam topic, from Famill a Bekannten to Aarbecht a Beruff, each with a model answer you can hear spoken. Hide the English to test yourself, rewrite any answer in your own words — your job, your family — and add questions you expect to be asked.
Exercises that work the way the exam does: listen, then answer. Slow the audio down until you catch every word, loop a clip as often as you need, and reveal the transcript in Luxembourgish and English when you are ready.
Read a sentence aloud and get a score against a native example, across sets at three difficulty levels. Play your own recording back against the native one and hear the difference — the part of studying that is close to impossible without feedback.
Picture description catches people out because it needs vocabulary you rarely practise. Scene categories to work through, plus the spatial words the task depends on — op, ënner, niewent, hannert, am — with worked examples.
Study sets grouped the way you learn: ready-to-use phrases including how to ask for a question to be repeated, everyday words, numbers and time, grammar down to the Eifeler Regel, and the sounds that trip up every candidate.
Luxembourgish songs with lyrics, for vocabulary that sticks. Live radio too, including RTL, Eldoradio and Radio 100,7, each station labelled by how hard it is to follow, so you can start slow and work up.
A plain guide to how the exam works, inside the app — and the same ground is covered free on this site, from the two sections to the pass mark.
Your citizenship passport gains a stamp for each topic you finish. Set a daily goal, build a streak, and see how much ground you have covered and what is left — plus a full mock exam when you want to rehearse the real thing.
What it looks like
Who it's for
Work through the questions examiners really ask, rehearse the picture task, and sit a full mock so the real thing is your second attempt rather than your first.
Every question and model answer is spoken aloud, and the pronunciation practice scores you against a native example — so you find out where your accent slips before an examiner does.
Short sessions that pick up where you left off, a daily goal and a streak to keep you honest, and radio you can leave running while you do something else.
Songs with lyrics and live radio graded by difficulty, so fast everyday Lëtzebuergesch stops sounding like one long word.
